If rational thinking was involved, none of us would probably ride dirt bikes in the first place. ;)
To many, just riding a motorcycle is a stupid and potentially dangerous idea.
Back is the old days, we used to have events called 'Field Meets'. This is where a bunch of riders get together and do stupid and potentially dangerous things on motorcycles just to have fun.
Trying to complete a course while sitting backwards on your gas tank.
Riding double and trying to knock the other passengers off of the back while not losing your own passenger. (All done at low speeds.) The last one with their passenger intact wins.
Trying to complete a course while holding an egg in a spoon in one hand without breaking the egg.
Slow races. Trying to go as slow as you can without falling over or going backwards on the course. It's ok to stop as long as you don't put your feet down. Last guy wins.
Mix in a little barley pop and these events become funnier than you can imagine. And even more potentially dangerous.
And of course back then, many only wore T-shirts and jeans and sometimes not even a helmet.
In those days we called it fun. I guess in todays politically correct world it's called stupid. :(
This is a potentially dangerous sport. If it wasn't, everybody would do it and they would call it golf or sumtin'. :cool:
